[SLE] Network problem - please help
I have Suse 6.3 with SMC 9432 BTX network card. It is detected as EPIC100, eth0. The hardware looks like working normally, modprobe works, ifconfig looks like ok. When booting the system, the network card initialization looks like ready. If I try to ping myself, or telnet myself, it is ok. The led on my HUB is green, it means 100 mbs connection to the net is ok. But if i try to ping or telnet any other machine on the network, i can get a message: network unreachable. With suse 5.0 (it was the last OS on this machine) there was no problem with the card. PLease, help me... It is not to good to work a nice linux config without net :))) I have totally Windows feeling :)))) Sorry for the lamer question, but I am now learning my Linux secrets. Thank you in advance Gabor Kallai, Hungary Oh, by the way... The Hungarian translation of Suse Setup is terrible :) Full of language mistakes... I have to use the ENglish version. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Hi Gabor, the problem is probably not the card, but the configuration. Without any additional information, it is difficult to say, what is wrong. You might try to use the comand "ifconfig" to see, how the card is configured. If it looks OK, try to ping another host on the same sub-net using it's IP number. Than try a host on another sub-net using the IP number and finaly a host using it's name. Please mail the result of the tests, should help to find the problem.

When I wrote, that ifconfig is O.K., I mean, that IRQs, phisical hardware address etc. written to the screen by ifconfig was real to my network card. If i ping myself, it work, telnet too. if I tried to ping another pc in the same subnet - it is not working (network unreachable). Ping to the other subnet the problem is the same.

Yep, but how about your routing? What is your IP, netmask and the output of route -n ? Regards Ole -- Windows: Where do you want to go today? MacOS: Where do you want to be tomorrow?
